Fixing Your Softball Glove Laces
Summary:
Over time, the laces of softball and baseball gloves can become stretched, damaged, or break. Loose laces may create large gaps between the glove's fingers, potentially deforming its shape. These gaps can be dangerous, allowing fast line drives to pass through and possibly injure the player. Regular maintenance and tightening of your glove's laces throughout the season will preserve its original shape and integrity.
How to Replace Glove Laces:
1. Prepare the New Laces: Use glove oil or leather softener on the new rawhide laces. This will soften them, making them easier to manage during the repair.
2. Observe the Pattern: Carefully examine the stitching pattern of the area you need to replace.
3. Remove Damaged Laces: Detach one section of the broken lacing at a time, using scissors if necessary.
4. Start the New Lacing: Tie a tight overhand knot at one end of the new lace. Use a leather awl or a pointed tool to push the lace through the first hole of the pattern, pulling it through until the knot is secure.
5. Thread Through: Continue threading the lace through the holes, following the glove's original lacing pattern. Ensure the lace is pulled tight but doesn’t deform the glove, as the new lacing will stretch over time.
6. Finish Off: Tie another overhand knot at the end of the section. Adjust it snugly against the glove and trim any excess lace close to the knot.
7. Repeat as Needed: Follow these steps for any other sections requiring repair.
By keeping your glove well-maintained, you extend its lifespan and maintain its performance, ensuring you play at your best every season.
